These terms apply to your use of isti.studio (“this site”), a personal portfolio and engineering blog operated by Istiack Mohammad from Bangladesh. By browsing the site or using its contact form, you agree to what is set out below. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.
What this site is
This site publishes a record of my engineering work and a blog of technical articles on robotics, embedded systems, industrial automation, semiconductors and applied AI. It is an informational and professional-presence site. It does not sell anything, host user accounts, or provide a service you can subscribe to. Enquiries sent through the contact form may lead to a separate engagement, and any such engagement is governed by its own written agreement — not by these terms.
Technical content is general information, not engineering advice
Articles on this site describe general principles, published industry developments, and approaches I have found useful. They are written without knowledge of your system, your safety requirements, your regulatory context or your operating environment.
- Nothing here is professional engineering advice for a specific design, and it is not a substitute for a qualified engineer with responsibility for your project.
- Content touching on industrial machinery, motor drives, power electronics, UAV operation or field-deployed hardware describes engineering concepts only. Work of that kind carries real risk of injury and property damage, and is subject to local law and safety standards.
- Always verify against current vendor documentation, datasheets and the applicable standards before acting on anything you read here.
- Technical details, product capabilities and industry roadmaps date quickly. An article reflects my understanding at the time it was written and is not maintained as a live reference.
You are responsible for deciding whether anything on this site applies to your situation.
Intellectual property
The articles, technical diagrams and illustrations on this site are my own work and remain my property, except where a source is credited on the item itself. You are welcome to:
- read, share and link to any page;
- quote a reasonable extract for commentary, teaching or review, with attribution and a link back to the original page.
Please do not republish whole articles, mirror the site, or use its text or diagrams as training or seed material for a content-generation service, without written permission. Requests are usually granted — just ask.
Third-party names and trademarks
Articles here discuss products, tools and companies by name — among others, semiconductor manufacturers, equipment makers, cloud providers and open-source projects. Those names and marks belong to their respective owners and are used for identification and commentary only. Their appearance on this site does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from those organisations, in either direction.
Where an article describes an industry development I have not worked on directly, it is written as analysis of publicly reported information, not as a first-hand account.
Using the contact form
The contact form is for genuine enquiries. When you use it:
- Send only what you are comfortable sharing over ordinary email. Do not send confidential, commercially sensitive, personal or safety-critical information through it, and do not send credentials of any kind.
- A submission does not create a client relationship, a confidentiality obligation or a contract, and no deadline is promised. I aim to reply within one to two business days, but cannot guarantee a reply.
- Do not use the form for unsolicited marketing, bulk messaging or anything unlawful.
How submissions and site data are handled is described in the Privacy Policy.
Advertising
This site displays advertising served by Google AdSense and its partners. Those ads are selected by Google, not by me. An ad appearing on a page is not a recommendation or endorsement of the advertiser, its products or its claims, and I have no involvement in any transaction you enter into with an advertiser. Cookies and data used for advertising are covered in the Privacy Policy.
Links to other sites
Articles link to third-party sources, documentation and tools. I do not control those sites and am not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability or privacy practices. Following an external link is at your own discretion.
Availability and changes
The site is offered as it is. I may add, edit, move or remove pages at any time, and no guarantee is made that the site will be available without interruption or free of errors. Articles may be corrected or updated after publication.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content, including any loss of data, profit, equipment or business. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
Acceptable use
Please do not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site or its infrastructure, disrupt its operation, scrape it in a way that degrades service for others, or use it to distribute malicious code.
Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, with the date above revised accordingly. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Bangladesh, and the courts of Bangladesh have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.
